SO FAR, THIS SUCKS

and this is why i hate winter, so we finally get our first snowfall here , looks like we’re getting a seasons worth in a day. i start to settle for a day spent in the comfort of a nice warm home, with loads of work to do in it. no venturing out means i don’t have to shovel.

happy me! yays!

“not so fast says the cold winter , remember , you’re in hell”

not soon after running a small pot of coffee and venturing in the laundry room did i notice something wrong.

“ok” i thought, the washer is in the fitz and has stopped dead in the middle of filling up, at times i have to wait and start it back up again. yes , i live a life of luxury, you don’t want to know the state of my dryer , but hey eventually both get the job done.

but things don’t stop there , the lights are dimmer, the internet has gone and the box has started blaring its alarm at me , “WTF is going on?”

so the situation now is this:

venturing from room to room i either have low lights to no lights to no problem, and in a chaotic fashion , the heaters have all gone, home is getting colder, fridge is not working , no hot water , no stove…. but the internet has returned , phone has stayed the same but the tvs all have a mind of their own , they work they don’t work…

electric company is sending another team in, “did they say it was going to be today at least???” its a transistor problem. so while the fridge and freezer go to the shits, the lights all act like their christmas lights, and the house is slowly turning igloo , we wait , and wait

meanwhile , a friend has boarded a morning flight to cancun and for once , because this doesn’t happen often , as i’m always thankful for what i have and never forget things can be worse , but for once, i am envious.

i spend all of winter with tense muscles because of the cold, i’m a stubborn unmedicated anemic so winter is very painful, still part of me is happy for the friend and look forward to wonderful pics of the vacation.

its getting dark, and i dont thing the electric company do any work in the dark…

guess i’ll have to settle for warm thoughts, child is home, safe

mother has been resting under my advice , lil cold but , safe

now to wait for husband , feed family take care of the various animals and dream of a warm, hot, bubbly bath…
